Don Burke, from Channel 9’s Burke’s Backyard, took over from me as Chair of the Australian Environment Foundation (AEF) this afternoon. Don is calling for a whole new approach to environmentalism and a focus on the management of our National Parks.

I will still be very active within the organisation. As Chair I had been filling a gap between Barry Cohen leaving and someone else taking over – Don Burke as it turns out.
I remain Director of the Environment Unit at the Institute of Public Affairs and a Fellow of the Centre for Public and International Comparative Law (CPICL) at the University of Queensland.
